THE LATE EXPLOSION AT THE Yesterday the investigation of the case against Josel Gomez, the Spaniard, who is charged with enclosing ma terials calculated to destroy life, in several letters which were put into the post-office at Liverpool, and in the stamping, by a clerk named Barnard, almost produced the death of that individual, was resumed before Mr. Minshull, Bow-street, and lasted the whole of the day. Mr. Peacock, the solicitor to the Post-office attended for the posecution. Mr. Leigh, an artist in the Strand, attended as interpreter, and Mr. Davy, a celebrated chemist in the Strand, who had made an examination of the combustible materials found at the prisoner's lodgings, was also present. The case ap peared to create intense interest. Mr. William James Page sworn. I reside at No. 33, Duke-street, Manchester-square, and am clerk at the dead letter office in the General Post-office, and was on duty there last Monday (yesterday se ' nn i g ht.) On that day I . received at the inland office two packets from Liverpool, addressed to the inspectors of dead letters. This was at half-past six o'clock. I opened both the packets in the inland office, and took out the contents. The Presi dent had previously shown me a letter from the Post-1 master at Liverpool, urging extreme caution in open ing the letters contained in those packets. Each of the packets contained several letters, and in one of them were the two marked A and B. The letter marked A is addressed as follows :—" A la Exmo. Sor. de Miguieli Tacon, Capitan Gener a l D e l G o b ernar d o d e l a H a b ana ." That letter bears the Liverpool stamp, and enclosed was the letter marked B, produced, bearing a similar address.. That letter also bears a similar mark of the same date. In the other packet addressed to the dead letter office, I found the letter now produced, addressed " A l a S enora Da Jua na Da Chirino del defunto D. Romano Burfan, par la Ha bana ex Habana." That contains an inner enclosure, with the same address, and was folded as a letter and firmly. se cured. On cutting it open, I found two crackers tied to the folds of the letters, so that if I had opened them in the usual way they would have exploded. I also found enclosed a small packet, which appears to me to contain fulminatinc , silver, and which I h a v e mar k e d. Th e l e tt ers marked A,° B, and C all bear an impression or seal, or stamp in wax, of H. 0. I. in capitals. The letters were forwarded to the dead letter office in consequence of not having been paid for, and such letters would have been opened in the regular way, and returned to the writers. The letter enclosed in the packet marked A is signed " Josef Gomez," and the word " Pelago," written underneath. Mr. Maitland Wilson Boyd sworn—l reside at No. 4, New Bank-buildings, Lothbury, and I am clerk in the General Post-office: On Saturday last I was in the soli citor's office, where the prisoner was. I showed him the two letters marked A and B, and asked him if the addresses on them were in his hand-writing ? He said they were, and I then asked him if the address upon it was written by him. He said it was not, and that he did not know any person at Matanzas. I then asked him if he did not ar rive at Liverpool from New York by the ship Virginia, and he said he did. I also asked him " Have you put any letters into the Post-office at Liverpool ?" and he said h• had, " two or three." I next demanded if he had put any thing into those letters, and he replied in French, " Peut etre, oui." I then asked him where he had lived, and he said at Cuba. I produced the fragments of the letters which had been partially ,destroyed by the explosion at Li verpool, and showed them to him. The addresses were nearly unintelligible, but appeared to be directed to " Don Jose Nobell, Matanzas." Those marked E are addressed " A la Sen. de Feliz Cruset, Teniente de Gobernador In terim de la Ciudad, Matanzas." Another was addressed " Al Sen. Don Feliz Cruset, de Gobernador Interim par la Habana, en Matanzas. E.L.P. M." The writing on the fragments and that upon the letters found in the pri soner's box exactly corresponded. Mr. Peacock here observed alit the prisoner, when asked why the combustible matters were manufactured, said they were merely for his own amusement. Through the interpreter, the prisoner stated that he did not pay the postage of the letters at Liverpool, because he did not know it was necessary, thus admitting that he was the writer of them. The prisoner here wished to make a statement. He wrote to the Governor of Havannah for 1,500 piastres to which he thought himself entitled. He was known to the Governor personally, and wrote to him in consequence of some previous understanding. Some other questions were put to the prisoner, which he seemed disposed to answer freely ; but Mr. Minshull caused him to be told that he might probably do himself harm. George Thomas Ruthven sworn—On Saturday last, about half•past one, he apprehended the prisoner in Ben bow's -rents, St. Luke's. He found upon him two loaded pistols and a stiletto, and he also found a seal, on which was impressed inverted, the letters "H. 0. I." Had examined the letters, and found the handwriting agree. In the room where he apprehended the prisoner he found a large chest, which he admitted belonged to him. He then brought him to the office of the soli citor of the General Post Office, and witness and Tyrell, another officer, found seventeen gold pieces, value sixteen dollars each. He afterwards brought him here. Witness again went to the prisoner's apartment, and found the key now produced. He brought the box and key to this office. That (yesterday) morning, the box having been opened, witness searched it, and found a blunderbuss-loaded almost to the muzzle with bullets ; a quantity of powder and some paper, of foreign manufacture, of the same texture as that of the letters which formed the subject of complaint. He found some dollars and coppers, and also six crackers. He also produced some cards and small packets, containing in each a small quantity of fulminating powder. There were also several letters. ➢lr. MiNsuuLL said the prisoner must, tinder the cir cumstances, be remanded until Thursday next. The prisoner expressed a wish to speak, and through his interpreter stated that when at the Havannah he was about to be married to a young lady, but the father attempted to poison him by putting opium into some soup which was served to him by order of the father of the young lady, who was Governor of the island. Mr. Peacock (to the interpreter)—Was the attempt to poison the prisoner the consideration for which he was to receive fifteen hundred dollars ? The prisoner's answer was—" Yes.

On Sunday evening, between 5 and 6 o'clock, the following daring highway robbery was committed on the New North-road, between West-end, Hampstead, and the branch road leading to the Regent's park, by a gang of five fellows, having the appearance of men engaged on the line of works belonging to the London and Birmingham railroad. It ap pears that Mr. and Mrs. Entwistle, a lady and gentleman, re. siding in Stamford-street, Waterloo-bridge, were returning from Barnet in a gig, when they arrived at the above-men tioned place, about 150 yards from the railroad, they were suddenly attacked by five remarkably powerful men. Two of them seized the reins of the horse during the time the other three demanded -their money and watches. Mr. Entwistle finding it useless to offer the least resistance, surrendered his purse containing four sovereigns and 6s. in silver, with which immediately on their obtaining, they hastened across the fields to the direction of Kilburn, with all possible despatch. Mr. Entwistle fortunately saved his valuable gold watch and ap pendages, as also did Mrs. Entwistle her chain, which the robbers had demanded, but the rapid approach of a carriage caused them to make a speedy retreat. None of them appeared to be armed, or did they offer the slightest violence. They were all similarly attired, viz., in short white smock-frocks, velveteen trousers, and ancle-boots, having the appearance of excavators. They are supposed to be the same gang of rob bers that have recently committed several depredations in the vicinity of the railroad and Regent's-park. RELIGIOUS DESTITUTION IN ORKNEY.-011 the evening of Sabbath last, a sermon was preached in Wal• lacetown church, by the Rev. Mr. Petrie, of Kirkwall and St. Ola, in Orkney, and a collection, amounting to 61. 123. 3d. made in aid of the fund now raising for the erection of an ad ditional 'church in that distant parish. It must be gratifying to every lover of the church of his fathers to see that so much has already been done, and is still doing, towards meeting the spiritual wants of the population in all quarters of the country ; and, were this spirit of exertion and improvement kept up for ten years more, it would go far to supply the deficiency so much experienced at the present day. Some interesting re marks were made by the Rev. Gentleman at the closo of his discourse. He stated that the Cathedral of St. Magnus, which is the place of worship for the parish, was built in the eleventh century, but so narrow, incommodious, and damp, and having only 702 available sittings, that it is quite incon venient and insufficient for the accommodation of the parish, the population of which is estimated at about four thousand souls. The parishioners are extremely anxious to obtain a proper place of worship, and have contributed according to their circumstances, but, being chiefly of the poorer classes, comparatively little has been obtained. The Rev. Gentleman mentioned a case which showed their willingness to contribute more largely, were it in their power to do so. One poor man put down his name for a guinea, saying, " Silver and gold have I none, but my hands are at your service, they will be equivalen'. to the sum I have subscribed." The erection of the proposed church, it is supposed, will cost 1,500/., of which 3101. has been obtained. We understand that several sums have been subscribed in Ayr by private individuals, and that subscription papers still lie with some gentlemen in the town. Ayr Observer. AURORA BOREALIS.—Last night, between nine and ten, these splendid northern visitors were particularly bril liant over this city. They sprung from the north-west quar ter of the hemisphere, and shot up in lengthened flickering corruscations, succeeding each other almost with the rapidity of lightning. But there was one peculiarity in the appearance that we never observed before ; the bank of cloud from which they shot out was of a darkish red colour, which gave the whole the likeness of a large fire, with the bright flame ever and anon flashing from it. The night was particularly bright, otherwise the northern lights would have been seen even to greater advantage, as the moon was shining clearly in the opposite quarter of the sky, and it being very frosty, the stars all adding their light to the general illumination.— Caledo nian Mexcury.

After the first at tempt two others were made, one by a relative of the young lady, and the second by two negrocs, who tried to stab me. I suspected something wrong, and when the plan was laid to stab me, I went out at night instead of the morning, to avoid it. Notwithstanding this precaution, however, he was attacked, and called out for the protection of the people, which was readily granted, and be escaped assassi nation. He got acquainted, and kept up his acquaintance, with the young lady upon the purest grounds. He wished to say nothing further. The prisoner, in addition to what we have stated above, mentioned other tender affairs in which he had been en gaged, although he seemed anything but a " gallant gay Lotbario." He was eventually remanded till Thursday week. The examination lasted until a very late hour. The following additional particulars relative to the above mentioned prisoner have been sent us by our Liverpool correspondent .—" Gomez (Pelajo), the man in ques tion, by birth a Spaniard, about thirty-five years of age, had arrived in Liverpool only a day or two be fore he posted the letters in the packet ship Vir ginian, from New York. He was not induced to leave this town so abruptly in consequence of the letter having exploded in the act of being stamped, for it was ascertained that he had taken his place to London by the Red Rover, before he bad dropped the letters in the Post-office. O ne of the murderous letters, strange to say, was addressed to ft lady, at Matanzas. It is generally- believed here that he is insane. The letters themselves could never have reached the parties in South America, to whom they were a dd ressed, even if they had not been fo und to have such ,horrible con tents, as he had not complied (probably from being a stranger) with the Post-office regulations, which render it necessary that all foreign letters should be post-paid when posted. The letter addressed to the Governor at Alatanzas was charged w ith a quantity of fulminating silver, equal, it is said, in power to 20lbs. of gunpowder, mixed also with small bits of brass nails to rende r i ts explosion more deadly. The prisoner will be immediately conveyed to this town after exa mination, previou s t o hi s committal to take his trial a t the Spring Assizes. The offence, it is said, is a capital one. At the recent coronation of the Emperor and Empress of Austria, the large diamond, called the " Duke of Tuscany," from its haying formerly belonged to the Duchy, and novrin eluded in the crown jewels of Austria, was, after an interval of several years, exposed to the view of the public. It is one of the large s t in Europe, weighin 139- carats. It is of a bell shape, an d of a slight yellow tinge; its value is estimated a t 2,627,138 francs. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 4, 1836.

FATAL COLLIERY EXPLOSION ELEVEN LIVES LOST.—Yesterday week a most calami tous accident occurred at Audley, near Neweastle-unLler- Lyne, Staffordshire, by which the lives of eleven indi- victuals were sacrificed. The scene of this direful • event was an extensive colliery called the Bignall-hill pit, belong ing to .John Wedgwood, Esq., of Bignal. On the pre ceding Friday, the colliers perceived some foul air in the pit, but as it was inconsiderable, and they had frequently observed its appearance to the same extent without any mischief resulting, they took no notice of it, and on Satur day morning, about ten, the men left off work for the week. On Monday morning, about seven, the colliers again visited the pit with the intention of resuming their labours, and 18 or 19 men and boys descended. No apprehension of danger was felt at this time, nor did the miners think it necessary to use the safety lamps ; but they were proceeding to their work with naked candles, when, in a moment, destruction came upon them ; the foul air which had been engendered during the cessation of labour ignited with a loud explosion, and 11 poor creatures were hurried into eternity. Immediate exertions were made by the survivors, and other colliers who hastened to the spot, in order to get the bodies out of the pit, and, if possible, to restore animation to some of them ; but, with the exception of two, Rowley and Riley, all who had proceeded any considerable distance from the mouth of the pit into the interior of the work were instantaneously killed. Riley bad a narrow escape. He was farther in the pit than two of those who perished, but on perceiving the danger, he exerted himself to get to the bottom of the shaft, and providentially succeeded. A father and son also met with deliverance in this peri lous moment ; they happened to be near a small detached place, in which candles were kept, and turning in, they avoided the deadly current, and thus narrowly escaped de struction. Although unceasing efforts, and at great per sonal risk, were made to get out the bodies, it was eleven at night before that object could be effected, in conse quence of the prevalenc e of noxious vapour in the pit, and at that time the body of Thomas Cartwright had not been met with. In consequence of being buried under a quantity of earth and coals which the explosion dis lodged, the corpse was not found until Wednesday morning. This poor fellow wa s th e f oremost of those who ha gone towards the work, and it is supposed that his candle was the immediate cause of the ignition. When the bodies were found, some were more or less burnt and bruised, others had not a mark of violence upon them. In one case the external injury was very great ; but it was evident that the deceased had come to their death by suffocation, and their sufferings, in that case, would be only of momentary duration. As an instance of the shock produced by the explosion, it may be mentioned that " a corfe" (which is made of oak and bound with iron) that was not far from the bottom of the shaft, was shivered to atoms. On Wednesday an inquest was held on the bodies, when a verdict of " Accidental Death" was returned in each case. The names of the sufferers are William Riley, Thomas Lawton,.James Proctor, John Hilditch, Thomas Riley, Elijah Billington, John Johnson, Charles White, Thomas Cartwright, George Riley, and John Chambers. This lamentable catastrophe has so much affected the proprietor, John Wedgwood, Esq., as to urge him to de clare that no similar occurrence shall in future take place, and he has given orders for the pit's mouth to be closed. A. subscription has been opened for the wives and families of the deceased. The interment of the unfortunate miners took place in Audley-churchyard on Thursday. The funeral processions. eleven in number, all united before they reached the church ; and as the committees of several clubs attended, according to their custom, as well as the relatives and friends of the deceased, the procession altogether was not much less than half-a-mile in length. RUSSIA TRADE. Office of Committee of Privy Council for Trade, Sept. 29, 1836. Sir,—l am directed by the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade to inform you, that in consequence of applications made by parties interested in the trade with Russia, on the subject of the brack of flax, and the stores of ships at Archangel, and also on the subject of certain proceedings at Cronstadt, relative to the loading of vessels at that port, the matters complained of by those parties have been inquired into by the British Ambassador at St. Petersburgh, and from whom a despatch on both subjects has lately-been -received. In this despatch Lord Durham has transmitted copies of the respective answers which the Russian Government had returned to his representations ; and the Lords of this Committee have directed me to send to you those answers, for the information of your Company, and also as the best means of communicating the intelligence they contain to persons engaged in trade with the ports of Russia. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, J. D. HUME. Samuel Thornton, Esq., Governor of the Russia Company. My Lord,—l have the honour to inform you, with re ference to my interview with your Excellency concerning the complaints made at Cronstadt by captains of vessels of the arbitrary conduct of a Corporation which assumes the exclusive right of loading merchandise on board of ships, that according to the charter of that Corporation, pub lished in 1830, it is expressly forbidden to prevent captains of vessels from applying, if they choose, to other persons to engage labourers at prices fixed by mutual agreement, or, if they prefer it, from loading their vessels by their own crews. Upon that 'I consider it my duty to make the circum stance in question the object of a special report to his Ma jesty the Emperor, who has been pleased to ordain that Admiral Rogenoff, the military Governor of Cronstadt, shall use all the means within his power to remove all such grounds of complaint on the part of the captains of fo reign vessels, and that they shall no longer be prevented from freely engaging labourers by mutual agreement as authorized by the law. , .. Ravin.. communicated this supreme order to Admiral Rogenoff, I consider it my duty, my Lord, to apprise you of it, and, I have the honour, &c. Comte G. DE CANCRINE. August 6, (18), 1836. To His Excellency the Right Hon. Lord Durham, &c. My Lord—Being obliged to depart, I consider it a duty to inform your Excellency, with reference to the interviews during which you were pleased to place in my hands seve ral documents upon the subject of the irregularities prac tised in the bracking (triagg) of flax at Archangel, and of the complaints made by the captains of English vessels of an excessive rigour observed towards them by the officers of customs at that port 1. That I have already had occasion, in consequence of information which 1 had previously received, to consult the military Governor of Archangel respecting the most efficacious measures for insuring to Archangel the strict execution of the regulations prescribed for the bracking of flax and tow, stating to him, that if the regulations ob served there should be found insufficient, the system adopted at the port of St. Petcrsburgh might be applied to Archangel! 2. That the Department of Finance will take into due consideration the propositions of Mr. Hunt respecting the appointment of two additional brackers of flax at Arch angel, the selection of half the brackers by the foreign merchants, and in support of the brackin g not being car ried on except upon the square appointed for that purpose. 3. With regard to the complaints at Archangel re specting the confiscation of provisions, and trifling ar ti c l es belonging to different captains, an belonging respect t o th e ob servation that the rigorous application of the rules relating to these matters had been abated at the port of Cronstadt, I shall confine myself to observing, that the latter port en joys no privilege with respect to the captains of vessels, and that the regulations which are followed there by the offi cers of customs are the same at Archangel.

Mr. W. called the dog off, which ran away yelping, as if conscious o f the noxiou s wound inflicted by the reptile. Mr. Watkins then saw the viper swallow several of its young, and after watching its mo. tions for some time, he took his aim, and shot the adder to pieces. On examining the spot , he foundthe remains of seven young adders, which when killed were inside the mother ; and close by her, upon the gra s s, were lying two others o f th e young, which had not bad time to fly to their natural pl ace o f refuge in time of danger.
